I covered her with the blanket when she fell asleep and made my way towards the couch laying down on it. The phone shows 12.30 and I sigh.

The sleep is far away from my eyes so I decided to open my phone and check the messages.

Dada:
Will you come
next month then?

My hand hovers over the keyboard as I think about my reply. He has been asking me to visit him abroad.

And honestly I don't want to, I can't!

I hear some mumbling from the bed when I notice Aadriti shifting on the bed.

Is she getting nightmares?

I stand near the bed only to watch her snuggling in the pillow and clutching it tightly.

I have no idea why I cancelled my flight to Mumbai today. Yesterday I was awake the whole night thinking about her.

She cried because of me, because I am leaving and not coming back.

I know what it feels like to be lonely. And I understand her situation. She might consider me as her friend and now that I am leaving she will be alone again.

But she has to understand that this ends today. If she gets attached to people so easily they will take her advantage.

Its not necessary to have friends, I think.

I sit on the chair far away in the corner of the room. My hands automatically move towards my phone as I scroll down my gallery.

My hand hovers over over the photo for a few seconds before I decide to click on it.

Four smiling figure staring at the screen greet me and I press my lips together staring at us.

Friends?

People like me don't deserve them!

I close the phone and throw my head back on the chair and close my eyes. Even if I don't want to their faces, their voices echo in my head.

Author's Pov

The light from the laptop illuminates on Agastya's face due to the dark as he writes down the notes in the mid night.

A cup of hot coffee is placed down near his study table as he looks up to see Reyansh staring at him with his own cup in his hand.

"You are preparing for the class test?" Reyansh asks taking a sip from his cup.

Agastya nods his head and grabs the cup Reyansh placed infront of him. "Thanks" he mumbles and takes a sip while Reyansh gives his shoulder a small pat.

A few curses and shouts sound from the other room making them both glance at the door .

"Will you tone it down?! Agastya is studying!" Reyansh shouts at the door.

The door opens with a thud presenting a angry Dhruv infront of them.

"We were this close! Okay! This close" Dhruv raises his thumb and index finger almost touching them to prove his point.
